Abstract Objective:  To describe neurobehavioral outcomes and investigate factors associated with survival and survival with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after in-hospital cardiac arrest for children who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary..

Abstract Aim Although recent  (CA) trials found no benefits of  versus normothermia , preclinical models suggest earlier timing of hypothermia improves  efficacy. This study investigated whether shorter time to goal temperature was associated with..

Abstract Aim To assess the use of   (ECPR), compared with manual or mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), for  (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in adults and children. Methods The PRISMA guidelines were..

Abstract The use of minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support to reduce the side effects of extracorporeal circulation is still contradictorily discussed. This study compares perfusion operated by conventional (CCPB) and minimized..

Abstract Introduction: Many techniques are available for cardioplegic arrest in children, but there is a lack of late phase clinical trials to guide practice. We surveyed paediatric cardiac surgeons and..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Some patients who undergo continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) implantation require concomitant procedures that can be performed with or without cardiac arrest under aortic cross-clamping (AXC). Procedures..

Abstract Background Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is a novel technique that aids organ recovery from donors after circulatory death (DCDs). However, ethical concerns exist regarding the potential return of spontaneous..

Abstract Introduction In modern surgical era, local haemostatic agents and blood components such as recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) have expanded surgeons’ armamentarium in controlling “surgical” and “nonsurgical bleeding”. We..

Abstract Background We describe implementation, evaluate performance, and report outcomes from the first program serving an entire metropolitan area designed to rapidly deliver extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-facilitated resuscitation to patients..

Abstract The proportion of patients receiving intravenous gelatin‐based colloids has increased in the last decade due to safety concerns about starch‐based products. Recent research suggests hypersensitivity reactions to intravenous gelatin‐based..

Abstract Background Donation after circulatory death (DCD) can increase the pool of available organs for transplantation. This pilot study evaluates the implementation of a controlled DCD (cDCD) protocol using normothermic..

Abstract Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has remained low despite advances in resuscitation science. Hospital-based extra-corporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a novel use of an established technology that provides..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used increasingly for both respiratory and cardiac failure in adult patients. Indications for ECMO use in cardiac failure include severe refractory cardiogenic shock,..

Abstract Objective: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) are commonly used in cardiac surgery. However, the mortality and morbidity are still high in practice. Developing novel protective..

Abstract Aims Percutaneous veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) is utilized for patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. However, the procedure protocol for weaning from VA‐ECMO has not been well..

Abstract Background Cardiogenic shock is the main cause of death in hospitalized patients with acute coronary syndromes, with a high mortality rate. The management of graft thrombosis after coronary artery..

Introduction In our institute, we began using peripheral veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in 2010, and peripheral veno-venous (VV) ECMO in 2015. This study aimed to describe clinical characteristics..

Abstract Many measures have been proposed for myocardial protection in pediatric congenital heart surgeries, but little data is available for China. This study investigates myocardial protection strategies in pediatric cardiopulmonary..

Abstract Early iterations of the Norwood procedure used aortic cross-clamping, myocardial arrest, and, sometimes, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The resulting hypothermia and prolonged ischemia caused frequent cardiac, neurologic, renal, and..
